Yoga Outreach transforms vulnerable lives

Yoga Outreach was founded in 1996 by yoga teachers who came together to share yoga in the BC Correctional System. Since then, it has expanded to serve a diverse range of facilities including addiction and mental health centres.

In 2014, they facilitated more than 600 yoga classes to men, women and youth facing challenges with mental health, addiction, poverty, violence, trauma and imprisonment.

Yoga Outreach also provides yoga training, mentorship and community-building opportunities to yoga teachers and community support professionals.
